Jixin Chen

Dr. Jixin Chen is Associate Professor of Chemistry at Ohio University specializing in single-molecule spectroscopy and surface chemistry. His research develops advanced microscopy techniques for studying molecular interactions and nanomaterial properties.

Research areas:

• Super-resolution imaging of DNA-protein interactions
• Photophysics of perovskite nanomaterials
• Single-particle optical mapping
• Surface reaction kinetics

His lab develops computational tools for analyzing single-molecule FRET data and stochastic adsorption processes. Funded by NIH and NSF, current projects focus on optical genome mapping and nanoscale heat transfer.
